Chapter 62 Guessing
Xi Tingyun said: "What are the recent moves between Lord Chen and Deputy Pavilion Qu?"
Wen Sisi said: "It's not just about moving the elephant, it's like moving the lions and tigers, working and earth. When they're almost all moving, they can move the dragon."
Xi Tingyun said: "Building and groundbreaking? They agreed to build Tongtian Zhenlong Palace?"
Wen Sisi said: "If you don't agree, how long can the emperor tolerate them?"
Xi Tingyun frowned.
The emperor had a different kind of persistence in building the Tongtian Zhenlong Palace. When the first time he mentioned it, because the treasury was empty and could not start construction, he was furious and killed dozens of officials, staining the capital with blood. In the end, Fang Hengxie and the queen came forward together, which forced the emperor to put the matter down for the time being. This time, the emperor's old affairs were brought up again, and it was thought that they would not give up until they succeeded. Qu Kangyun and Shen Zhenghe were suppressed for many years, and the other had not yet gained a foothold. They needed the holy support. If they did not agree, those officials who were scouted and beheaded were their lessons.
"But..." Xi Tingyun has been in the palace for so many years and knows the temperament of important officials of major courts. "The Lord Chen doesn't seem to be someone who easily compromises."
Wen Sisi shook the feather fan: "It will be a monster when things go against each other. Recently, Shen Zhenghe and King Zhao have been very close, Qu Kangyun and King Long have been very close, and Shen Zhenghe and Qu Kangyun have been very close again. Is this matter particularly interesting?"
Huo Jue suddenly said: "When will Fang Hengxie come back?"
Wen Sisi said: "The Lord of the Mansion went to the southwest for a walk, and it may be delayed for a while."
Xi Tingyun said: "Southwest? Could it be that he went to see Lord Xie Island?"
Wen Sisi said: "There is not just Lord Xie in the southwest, but Lord He is also in the southwest at the moment. I heard that even Lord Qiansui may have arrived in the southwest."
Xi Tingyun sighed: "When the capital left that day, I haven't seen Lord He for a long time."
The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.
Huo Jue was immediately shady.
Wen Sisi laughed dryly and said, "I wonder if the Lord of the Mansion will bring some specialties from the northwest and southwest when he comes back?"
No one answered.
Xi Tingyun had been pulled away by Huo Jue.
Tianji Mansion was silent, Lingxiao Pavilion was silent, and the court became the emperor's one-man hall. Occasionally, two or three ministers who dared to write to a letter were expelled from the government hall under the emperor's anger.
With the establishment of Tongtian Study Room, the construction of Tongtian Zhen Dragon Palace is a foregone conclusion.
However, the quiet court is completely opposite to the increasing public grievances. Although the court has not made any moves, rumors of adding tuition have been circulated among the people. Shen Zhenghe and Qu Kangyun, who are considered to be "inaction", were subject to unprecedented severe harsh accusations.
All the talented literati in the capital were proud to scold the two people in Li.
Compared with the jubilant scene of Shen Zhenghe returning to the capital half a year ago, it is really a satirical thing.
The despised brother and brother were sitting in an abandoned courtyard, taking out the wine and food he brought, and eating with you one cup and one chopstick.
Qu Kangyun looked at Shen Zhenghe and reached out to get the wine pot again, and couldn't help but hold it with chopsticks: "This is the sixth cup, you've had at most three cups before."
Shen Zhenghe glanced at him in surprise and retracted his hand.
Qu Kangyun said: "It's not that I want to care about you. We are on the same boat. I don't want to capsize because of a drunkard."
Shen Zhenghe said: "I have two kilograms of white wine."
It was Qu Kangyun's turn to be surprised, and he was a little angry in surprise: "I used to invite you to drink, but you can't even say you can't drink."
Shen Zhenghe has no shame: "Drinking alcohol depends on the partner."
Qu Kangyun hummed twice: "Who are you drinking with?"
"Mu Xian."
Qu Kangyun was silent.
Shen Zhenghe poured another cup and touched Qu Kangyun's cup by himself: "You can count half of it now."
Qu Kangyun looked at him and raised his head and said calmly: "You are going to wake up in the future?"
Shen Zhenghe said: "I am promoting the rule of law."
Qu Kangyun said: "I always thought you admire the etiquette system, but I didn't expect you to be a legalist."
Shen Zhenghe said: "I am nothing. For me, use whatever is useful."
Qu Kangyun said: "Then your proposal is practical?"
Shen Zhenghe nodded and said, "Practical."
"But it's not practical at all. No emperor would be willing to be constrained. Do you just see the Censorate who grabs our braids all day long and enjoys it?"
"It's better for someone to take care of him than for no one to take care of him."
Shen Zhenghe and Mu Xian are confidants, close friends, and classmates. They are just lucky, have a prosperous career, Mu Xian has a bad luck, and have a bumpy career. After becoming his aide, Mu Xian almost placed his ideals and hopes on himself. Therefore, he will never forget that when Mu Xian knew that he was indulging his subordinates and used improper means to attack political enemies, he was disappointed and sad. He kept thinking that Mu Xian's early death was not only because of the sadness of his life's hard work, but also because of the regret that the ideals were entrusted to him.
It was not that he knew how to implement it. Mu Xian insisted on the twelve words "fairness, justice, officials cooperate with people's livelihood, and people compete for their own interests". No matter which one is, in the eyes of the powerful and powerful of the dynasty, he was too indulged in "the people". However, when his ideals were lost, he could replace power and allow himself to move forward, only Mu Xian's almost naive ideals were.
Seeing that Shen Zhenghe grabbed the wine pot and drank it, Qu Kangyun stretched out his hand to stop it, and then took it back. The wine pot was so big, it had already poured all over the place, and the rest was only a little bit. If he really had two pounds of alcohol, he thought it would be...
"Puff". Shen Zhenghe lay on the table and fell asleep.
Qu Kangyun: “…”
After Shen Zhenghe was drunk, his mood stabilized. When he saw Qu Kangyun again, he had a familiar cold expression. On the contrary, Qu Kangyun's face was a little unfair.
Qu Kangyun said: "How are you feeling now?"
Shen Zhenghe said: "See a big crow?"
Qu Kangyun asked in confusion: "Where?"
Shen Zhenghe pointed at him: "Aren't you going to tell me bad news?"
Qu Kangyun mocked, "You have drunk two more pounds of white wine, right? No matter how much you drink, it's best to sober up. Something happened to your most proud student."
Shen Zhenghe's face changed.
Seeing that he was like this, Qu Kangyun couldn't keep him in hiding, so he said directly: "I heard that the queen has studied him in front of the emperor."
This is really an unexpected answer.
"Mu Zhengliu colluded with Xie Feishi and took away the treasure of the town bureau placed in the Military Weapon Bureau." He saw Shen Zhenghe frowned, "Didn't he tell you?"
Shen Zhenghe said: "He has sent me two letters." The letter mentioned the situation in Pingbo City, especially the mysterious death of the old commander and the murder case of the fire in the whole family. It also mentioned that Yu Donghai suspected that it was done by Tang Chizhou.
Tang Chizhou, Queen...
Shen Zhenghe fell into deep thought.
Qu Kangyun said quietly: "If you think of something, don't forget to tell me."
Shen Zhenghe said: "Which side do you think Tang Chizhou is from?"
Qu Kangyun did not hesitate to think: "The queen side."
"Which side is the queen?"
"The queen still needs it..." Qu Kangyun was stunned. The queen is the mother of a country, the most noble woman in Dazhuang. There is no need to doubt which side she stands on, either her husband or her son. But what if her husband is not healthy and has no children?
Qu Kangyun murmured: "Which side will the queen stand? She, has she already stood on which side?"
Among the princes, King Xin, who was originally the most favored by the emperor, was executed for rebellion, and the rest were King Long, King Zhao, King Hui, Prince Zhen, and Prince Ning. The uncle of Long Wang was in great power, and King Zhao was known for his incompetence. King Hui broke his legs on a horse in his early years and was bedridden for many years. He did not want to see anyone. Prince Zhen was premature and was very favored. His temperament was very similar to the emperor. The way he ruled was cruel, and the people in the palace lost all their eyes. Prince Ning's mother's wife was recently in a holy family, but she was still in her infancy, so she couldn't see anything.
Among these people, she and Shen Zhenghe stood on King Long openly and secretly stood on King Zhao. If the queen was standing on the same team as them, she would not have participated in the Zhengliu. Unless she was standing on the rest of the people.
Prince Hui? Prince Zhen? Prince Ning?
